Özet
Metal composites have been extensively used in various fields such as automotive industry, medicine and pharmacy. However, the high exposure of these chemicals may have an adverse effect on the living organisms. In this study, the effect of titanium aluminum carbide (Ti3AlC2) on the model organism Galleria mellonella was investigated. The change in the metabolic enzymes such as alanine transferase, aspartate transferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, amylase, creatine kinase, alkaline phosphatase in the hemolymph of G. mellonella which was exposed to Ti3AlC2 was determined. The contents of the bilirubin, albumin, uric acid and the total protein were also measured after the Ti3AlC2 exposure on the model organism. The results of our study clearly indicate that Ti3AlC2 has adverse effects on the model organism G. mellonella.
